I thought about how Bill Gates would have gone click-click-click and logically nailed the answer in 15 seconds

But I don't believe that many very intelligent men took more than 10 minutes to solve this problem, unless it was presented to them in some dramatically different way (eg, the name was not emphasized as much as it was here).
Steve Jobs is Eddie Van Halen. A tortured virtuoso artist who is not only a master at guitars and keyboards. This guy produced some of the most innovative guitar playing in the 70s and 80s. He also created some of the most kick ass rock and roll songs of all time.
Satch plays awesome guitar. EVH creates awesome music.
Steve Jobs did not have mastery of the instrument. He was "technically limited", but still able to create compelling products. If you wanted to keep the analogy, it would be better to say that he was Bob Dylan (coincidentally, he was one of SJ personal idols).
Anyway, I'm going to try again: can you please stop with the Apple fanboyism? Such blind worshiping and your monotonic comments are so annoying that it makes me want to dislike anything about SJ and Apple.
That's just how insecure people describe him so they can feel better about themselves.
Face it, you can not have it both ways. Either Steve Jobs mastery was in taking ideas that were already there and putting it together in a way that was appealing to the common man (the "Bob Dylan"), or he was someone so ahead of its time that people could not comprehend him, pushing the state further to a level that others could not keep up - the "Satriani".
As for your childish insult... I could go on a long diatribe about how the insecurity usually lies in people that need to put others on a pedestal, but you'd need to get out of the Reality Distortion field to be able to understand it.
And that staement was meant for Bill Gates, but if you were insulted then I guess you're guilty.
I had enough of you. Bye.
